Hey all,

Got a soundbar that supports HDMI ARC or optical audio. Optical audio requires I control with its remote but I’d rather only use the TV remote but all of my videos are encoded AAC which HDMI ARC doesn’t support. Is there a way to do a device specific custom profile to transcode audio to DTS for example?

    Thanks for the write up. I am currently using a Roku TV with the Jellyfin client running on it. I’ll need to look into Kodi and sounds like I might need an AVR or set top box. It would be nice if these things (TVs, soundbars) were more open. Maybe we need an open source soundbar firmware, then I could permanently disable Alexa and maybe make use of it’s networking capabilities.
